I am very pleased with the boat in general. It has a 20 degree dead rise, high freeboard, handles the sea well and is a smooth and dry ride.
I have not checked the fuel consumption physically, but according to the gauges I use approx 5 GPH at 20 knt (3300 rpm). I will fill up the tank this weekend and check how much I used last weekend. WOT is 40 knt which is plenty for my use. The engine has plenty of torque and the boat is easy to get up at plane. I went with the 4 L mainly due to fuel consumption. So fare I am very pleased with the engine, but I have only used it for approx 20 hours.
When it comes to options I have a T-top (with canvas front and side windows electronic box), lean on post, cushions, fresh and salt water wash down, twin batteries. I think the rest as porter potty, live well, trim tab, swimming ladder etc is standard. I would defiantly go for the lean on post and the T-Top and twin batteries. The cushion is nice when you bring the family, but for fishing you dont need them. My set up comes with 10 rod holders (4 at the back rest of the leaning post and six at the T-Top).
I have flush mounted a Lowrance LXC 113 HD at the centre console and an ICOM VHF at the electronic box. They are connected for DCS calls, and all the wiring is hidden through the pipes of the T-Top.
SeaPro is good (more than good enough) and well equipped boats for an affordable price.
All in all I am very pleased, but I have only had the boat for a couple of months.
